There’s a small island in the middle of the atlantic ocean, completely desolate from everything except for lots of water. The Island, named Tristan da Cunha, was first inhabited back in the 1810′s as an outpost by the British to stop a potential escape by Napolean. When that didn’t happen and the military were called back, a few folk stayed behind to establish life on their beautiful desolate volcanic island.

So on Tristan da Cunha live a small community of about 270 people who love life so much that when their island volcano exploded in the 60′s, their evacuation to Europe only led them to understand that their personal and connected way of life was way more awesome, and came back to rebuild it. (Yeah, pretty much all of them too).

The name of their town? Edinburgh of the Seven Seas. (no joke.)

So there is this eclipse happening on the 4th of April. And it is a full moon day also. I can already sense breathing getting faster for people who have noticed their own patterns fluctuate with the lunar rhythm! Yes, it’s a time when emotions can go all wild and batty, with the matter layered up deep within the subterranean realm of the subconscious forcing its way up!

It’s a funny thing… because the more you know that it disturbs you, the more you want to rein it in. The more you want to rein it in, the more it wants to explode. Full moon time is a phase that is replete with energy so strong, that the best asset in this time becomes the ability to ‘handle the energy’. You need to have space – psychic space, ready and prepared within you, willing to receive it. If, on the contrary there is emotional clutter, negative energy and ignorance or unwillingness to receive gracefully, chaos is bound to happen.

The term conspiracy theory did not exist as a phrase in everyday conversation before 1964. The conspiracy theory label entered the lexicon of political speech as a catchall for criticisms of the Warren Commission’s conclusion that US President Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman with no assistance from, or foreknowledge by any element of the United States government. Since then, the term’s prevalence and range of application have exploded. In 1964, the year the Warren Commission issued its report, the New York Times published five stories in which conspiracy theory appeared. In recent years, the phrase has occurred in over 140 New York Times stories annually. On Amazon.com, the term is a book category that includes in excess of 1,300 titles. In addition to books on conspiracy theories of particular events, there are conspiracy theory encyclopedias, photographic compendiums, website directories, and guides for researchers, sceptics and debunkers.

“Lisa’s Crohn’s disease improved with whipworm. Hookworm sent Dan’s multiple sclerosis into remission, and likewise Josh’s psoriasis. A bad case of chiggers calmed Lawrence’s autistic outbursts, and whipworm infusions have improved him further still,” writes Abigail Zuger M.D. in the New York Times article, A Messy, Exuberant Case Against Being Too Clean.

No, this isn’t science gone horribly wrong. Researchers are beginning to suspect that our obsession in the West for cleanliness is actually backfiring and leading to a shocking spike in autoimmune disorders and other diseases — asthma, diabetes and food allergies, even cancer and heart disease, to name a few. In response, scientists are entertaining the idea of an unconventional approach to combating these illnesses: fecotherapy.

Is this the future of healthcare? The introduction of microbe-rich particles into the body (including parasites), which encourage an internal landscape similar to our distant ancestors, without the risk of potentially life-threatening illness? Moises Velasquez-Manoff, author of “An Epidemic of Absence,” believes we’re heading in that direction.

Our lives are miracles made possible through the soul. Here is the proof of God staring us right in the face. Notice how much effort it takes to deny this. The way we feel about ourselves determines our attitude toward the truth. Disconnection from the true self feels bad because it devalues our perceived self-worth. Financial success, the American Dream, and faith in religion are band-aids for the deeper problem of lack of self-esteem. Keeping the band-aids in place takes great effort. The good news is the soul accomplishes everything yet it does no work. It is reality and it is effortless.

Feeling that something deeper is missing from our lives indicates a block to the easy state of unconditional love, unending joy and unsurpassable peace. The block is the personality. It is attached to what it believes will make it good, right, and strong because it believes it is bad, wrong and weak. It looks forward and backward but rarely fully accepts what IS in this exact moment. Feelings of disconnection and of not being good enough hum in the background. The personality uses a great deal of energy to cover up its worthlessness and nothing is ever enough.

The world looks for superlatives. Who is the fairest of all? Who is the smartest of all? Who is the most foolish of all? Who is the biggest? Who is the smallest? Who wins what in the Guiness Book of Records? Who becomes Miss America in one year and then is forgotten soon enough?
 
What does any of this matter? What is all this but a passing fancy. Enjoy as you enjoy, yet what matters any of this to your soul? Now, listen, your soul likes you. Your soul enjoys you. In this way, your soul enjoys your distractions. It makes the best of the ride you take together. All the while, your soul beckons you toward a grander frontier. Will you come?
 
You carry your soul within you, yet you can also consider that it is your soul who carries you. Your soul jaunts off with you beyond the commonplace. The soul – your soul – is not always nourished in this land of Earth that sometimes feels far away from even acknowledging the existence of soul. Your soul doesn’t weigh much in terms of the gravity-filled world. You can’t wrap your soul in gold. You can’t even wrap your soul in aluminium foil.
 
Your soul doesn’t have interest in gold or food or all the matters - even the serious life-saving matters - that your mind and body are presently indentured to. Your mind and body are alert to danger and risk. Your soul is alert to God and a whole realm that you hardly dream of.
 

The healing properties of music were well known to the peoples of the past and they made considerable use of it. Among primitive peoples songs and musical instruments such as the drum and the rattle were used not only in order to increase the effect of herbs or drugs, but also as independent means of healing. Such practices have persisted until the present among American Indians. Paul Radin, in his essay on “Music and Medicine Among Primitive Peoples,” reports that “among the Ojibwa, for example, the so-alled jessakid practitioners are supposed to function simply by sitting near the patient and singing songs to the accompaniment of their gourd rattles. Similarly, among the Winnebago, those who have obtained their powers from the bear spirits can heal wounds by merely singing their songs.”

It was known by the ancient civilizations that music has healing properties, and they deliberately used it for such purpose...

As the new light and vibration comes to your Earth, you may find those around you moving to opposite ends of the spectrum. One side will be full of fear, guarded, defensive and gravitate to those of like mind. The other will continue to be and send Love regardless of the situation. Neither is right or wrong….it just is.
Each of you have ‘triggers’ from your life experiences and most will react accordingly. Be different! Before you act, take a look at why you are feeling what you are feeling, where that feeling comes from and if you are truly being attacked. Give yourself the space to contemplate the reality of the situation and act from a calm space. Sometimes, that extra moment will allow a change that was meant to happen all along. ~ Creator
